Ashley Norris @ashleyrhys.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Depressing to see no one learn how to a) combat hateful populism, b) these anti-establishment folks are the establishment and c) other countries never get better with arseholes like this in. History repeats itself. People can’t imagine life better for them so want it worse for others. Sigh. 100 0
